SUBJECT: Trip Report
4q.Treat Casualties 8-3-0003
4r. Transport Casualties 8-3-C316
4a, d, h. The 220th is proficient in conducting Traffic Control Points (TCPs), route reconnaissance and surveillance, and convoy security after conducting multiple iterations of these tasks during the collective training phase at mob station. Planning and execution of these missions are this unit's strong points. These tasks are executed well from platoon down to squad level.
4k & 1. Each platoon is well versed in conducting Area and Zone Recons. The unit conducts mounted sweeps well and they are exceptionally strong at conducting dismounted sweeps. Overall, control and execution of movement techniques are outstanding.
4m, o. The 220th is capable of conducting the Base / Base cluster defense and the crossing of a chemically contaminated area. Where the unit falls short is the coordination of the unit defense plan (within an overall base cluster defense plan) and unmasking procedures at the platoon and squad levels. Each platoon should take some time to conduct some opportunity training in these tasks. Overall the unit is capable of accomplishing these missions.
5.
The 220th MP CO has outlined that the following tasks will occur OCONUS for sustainment training Platoon and Squad level planning and execution of Cordon and Search procedures, Base / Base Cluster Coordination, and Crossing a Chemically Contaminated Area.

6.
Equipment. Currently all unit ERC A shortages are due to FORSCOM shortages. By the unit CDR's assessment only the shortage of 26 of 40 CLS Bags are a concern.

7.
Personnel. Unit is required to have 180 PAX and currently has 150 PAX deployable. If the unit drops below 136 PAX they will become P-3.

001052
DOD-046261

kowt RESPONSE # 5
-Follow your Facility SOP for handling escape attempts. Notify QRF to cordon off the facility and prevent the detainee from leaving the immediate area.
